How can you use questioning and reflection to deepen your coaching presence?

To further enhance this skill, focus on the timing of your questions, allowing space for reflection. Tailor questions to the client's communication style, ensuring they feel comfortable and understood. Incorporate powerful follow-up questions to delve deeper into their thoughts and emotions. Practice active listening to formulate questions that build on the client's narrative. Foster a conversational flow by avoiding jargon and using language that resonates with the client. Continuous refinement of your questioning technique will strengthen your coaching presence and foster a more profound client-coach connection.

Selon moi, la meilleure fa?on de poser les questions relève de la ma?eutique socratique. C'est également une fa?on de s'étonner, de s'émerveiller, de s'inquiéter de certaines situation. Les deux tournures interrogatives les plus utiles sont : "ah bon, vraiment?", "Pourquoi? Dans quel but?" Bien souvent ces questions changent VRAIMENT le déroulement de la séance de travail.

Which question evokes new insight for the client? That is the client's take ... Sometimes not asking, and rather offering space can be the better intervention.

When coaching, open questions are a great way of helping your client find answers. However it must be done in an ethic and nonjudgmental way that makes the client feel they are in a safe environment where they can answer 100% honestly.

When asking questions during a coaching session, be mindful that your body language and overall delivery of the question/s can have a profound impact on the client's willingness to respond openly. As the coach, your delivery and language selection need to match the clients style and state to be fully heard.

Reflection is helping another person see what they are saying, thinking and feeling accurately. As a coach, perceiving the inner world of a coachee through verbalisation is the true skill of reflection. You can support the client's sense of agency and seeking clarity by practicing micro reflection skills through paraphrasing and summarizing.

Elevate your reflection technique by incorporating silence, allowing clients time for introspection. Tailor your reflections to the client's communication style and comfort level. Experiment with visualization techniques to enhance reflective discussions. Integrate positive reinforcement into your reflections to boost client confidence. Use reflective summaries to tie together key points and milestones in the coaching journey. Additionally, employ the "what if" technique to explore alternative scenarios and solutions. Continuously refine your reflection skills to deepen the coaching experience and foster transformative insights for your clients.

Before taking my coaching degree I thought I understood reflection... I didn't! Continuous questions until your client finds their own answer without reflection may lead to misaligned actions. You need to cover reflection in your time together so the client has clarity.

Reflect on action - after the event and Reflect in action - during the event. Both are useful and important for honing our practice.

This shows we are all human and can learn from previous experiences and other coaches! We all try and be perfect but the truth is there is always something which can be improved. Sometimes sharing ideas with others can be the best step to improve.

Embrace the power of well-timed silence to encourage deeper client introspection. Maintain a warm and supportive tone to foster a safe space for exploration. Employ open body language to convey attentiveness and empathy. Skillful use of probes and follow-ups helps unravel complex thoughts and emotions. Periodic summaries and check-ins ensure alignment and progress tracking. Continuously refine these techniques through self-reflection and seek feedback from peers or mentors. The more you cultivate these skills, the more impactful and effective you become as a business coach, nurturing stronger connections and achieving meaningful outcomes for your clients.

First, create a level of psychological safety that earns you the right to ask questions that make the other person think - namely questions that would require them to evaluate, speculate, prioritize or express feelings. Second, after posing your question make sure you shut up and give the other person the time and space to consider their response - silence will pay big dividends for you both. Third, make sure you listen to understand as opposed to listening simply to reply - if necessary paraphrase your understanding of what was said. Finally, make sure that throughout your interaction your verbal and non-verbal messages are congruent - remember, the other person will always place more importance on your non-verbal messages.

Um in einem Coaching pr?sent zu sein ist es wichtig, dass ein sicherer Raum geschaffen wird in dem eine wertsch?tzende Atmosph?re vorhanden ist. Dies ist eine wichtige Grundlage für den Aufbau von Verbindungen, welche der Coach mit stimmig gew?hlten Fragen begleiten kann. So unterstützt er den Coachee beim Finden der L?sung. Reflexionen sind hier ebenfalls sehr hilfreich, da sie durch das Hinterfragen des eigenen Handelns, wertvolle Informationen und Motivationen entdecken k?nnen. Dieses Entdecken darf mit der Zeit, die es braucht geschehen. Ein Feingefühl für Zeit und Raum für Antworten ist eine der essentiellen Kompetenzen als Coach.

in my many decades of teaching on the job, coaching others to be the same or have the same level of understanding as me... is to generate a world view from their perspective, so you are better able to coach at a level that flows with how they construct their own views and memory... and this means you can never ask too many question, to make sure all are always on the same page/track... always stopping to make sure all are following the perspective you are giving, by questioning them to repeat how they see your answers, not just a repeat of what has been said.

Optimizar el tiempo, personalizar la técnica y ajustar los conocimientos según las necesidades del cliente potenciaran los resultados en el ámbito del coaching personal y profesional. De esta manera, se facilitara el logro de metas tanto a nivel personal como en el ámbito laboral

Whilst questioning and reflecting is important I feel they offer very little unless we make sure we’re listening with our whole body and our heart. Yes, I believe that is possible. If we’re not fully there. Deeply listening, how can we reflect quickly and ask suitable follow up questions

Question and reflection is on the tip of the iceberg (sorry for the cliche). It's important to make space for both coach and coached to create an action plan. Talk is cheap - keep moving forward.

Questioning and reflection are two key elements of coaching but that's the beginning...listening to clients as they share their stories and feelings. The next step is to help clients move to where they want to go. Depending on your coaching style, you can lead them, direct them or support them and sometimes it's a combination of all three.

::: Pide al cliente que escuche su cuerpo. El cuerpo es el traductor del inconsciente. Contiene muchísima información que un especialista puede emplear para disolver incluso bloqueos emocionales anclados desde hace más de 50 a?os en apenas unos minutos (y lo digo por experiencia)

Coaching and Selling are the same, just the location changes... as both require a person to give another, new information to make sure they get what they want to know or have. The trick i have used to imparting information is to make sure you understand the others level of want from their perspective, so you can easily understand the needs they require to get there, using your own know perspective of what is required.
